The Tamil Nadu Congress has alleged that the BJP is using the Central Bureau of Investigation to exert political pressure on actor-turned-politician Vijay, a day after he was questioned for over six hours in Delhi in connection with the TVK rally stampede case that killed 41 people in Karur last year. Congress leaders claim the move is aimed at influencing Vijay ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, even as the probe follows a Supreme Court order for an independent, monitored investigation. Vijay has maintained that he left the rally venue early to prevent further chaos and has sought more time for questioning due to the Pongal festival.
